How big a number? integer's range from -2mil something to 2mil something or more, That's atleast 6 digits.

[hoinar]

lol, try 100 years for example and look at the seconds number

[Chesso]

Oh you mean how many seconds in 100 years? why on earth would you want to know that lol and there are ways around it which is what you meant i guess.

Yep, it's what I meant. Not to criticize his program.

If you know some OOP programming you could learn C# much quicker than C++.

Perhaps. But it requires .NET Framework 1.1. Which I am refusing to install on principle.

Is this the 'Gates has had something to do with it' principal? Do you use Windows (not the holes in the wall type either)? Well gates made some of that. Even if you play games not made by MS, they are likely to have made the compiler that the game was compiled with, or the operating system it was compiled on. Almost everything to do with computers today has been made using something the MS made, even the programs used to make programs are 'affected'. A bit over the top but there we have it. If i based everything on principal, i wouldn't have made Re-volt or wouldn't want to be a programmer.

[hoinar]

Lol, the same you could say about Java's runtime. Ehh...I'll stop here I don't want to start a debate.

I use Windows under duress for gaming only. I go against my principles, because my counscious mind gets bored.

I generally take criticsm in a constructive way. How would I fix this problem? It works at 68 years. but at 69 it buggers up, why?

[skool h8r]

'i know, let's talk about hoinar's 5kg piece of noisy ***** then'

I don't know much about programming, i admit that, but the more you know, the better. As for Java, i won't even touch that as the applications you can make with it, i just don't even like the look of them. Unless you are decent at graphics, then usually, it looks crap. As 'jailbait or mmm' says, that is just wrong.
Edit: it buggers up at 69 you say? Well, it just doesn't like your relationship with your girlfriend then

LOL. I set myself up for that ay?

Nah, im single and have been for ages. It bites.

Because Int datatype is not enough for such a big number. Use a larger datatype. This is just an idea, there are better solutions I guess.

You have time to repair that situation

[skool h8r]

Have you checked the include files. Maybe something is in there. There doesn't seem to be anything in your source code as far as i can see.

[Chesso]

Search google for c++ data types. Also if you really despise char arrays you could always get somethign fo rit and include it so you can have string capability from the get go.

Though once you get good i would recommend making something of your own to handle string's so you know exactly what is in it. There might already be something you can include for using string's i can' remember.

skool hr8 if you want a mildly simple language that isn't over the top and isn't going to majorly bust performance i would recommend a pascal language preferabbly the object pascal language delphi or even visual basic.

Even i started with visual basic

I'd rather not say what language my browser was written in as it would make it really obvious how i got all the features in.

The integer version won't suffer from a buffer overrun. The string version will.

int main()
{
    char this_is_a_string[128];
    printf( "Welcome to AuthentiLog.\nTo initiate the login procedure, please press the enter key.", this_is_a_number );
    getchar();
    printf( "User number: " );
    scanf( "%s", this_is_a_string );
    printf( "welcome user number %s.", this_is_a_string );
    getchar();
    char magic_string[128];
    scanf( "%s", &magic_number );
    printf( "PassString: ", magic_string );
    scanf( "%s", &magic_string );
    getchar();
    printf( "Thankyou. ", magic_string );
    getchar();
    char sir_madam[128];
    printf( "Please enter verification string: " );
    scanf( "%s", sir_madam );
    getchar();
    printf( "Thankyou.", sir_madam );
    getchar();
    char number_list_confirm[128];
    printf( "Please confirm the entries below are correct. " );
    getchar();
    printf( "UserNumber: %s. ", this_is_a_string );
    getchar();
    printf( "PassNumber: %s. ", magic_string );
    getchar();
    printf( "Verification Number: %s. ", sir_madam );
    getchar();
    /*---
    scanf( "%s", magic_string );
    printf( "PassNumber: %s", magic_string );
    getchar();
    scanf( "%s", sir_madam );
    printf( "Verification Number: %s", sir_madam );
    getchar();
    ---*/
    char string_final[128];
    //this code is wrong------->printf( "\n", this_is_a_number );
    printf("%s\n", this_is_a_string);
    printf( "Thankyou for using AuthentiLog user number %s.", this_is_a_string );
    printf( "\nGoodbye user number %s.", this_is_a_number );
    getchar();
}

The code above should compile and run with the expected results.

The line I have marked with

//this code is wrong---------->

contains a syntax error that will allow the application to compile and run, but could result in stack corruption. You are passing an argument to printf, but not actually using it in your format string. This is a common error when using printf, and is one of the reasons that C++ uses the << metaphore instead.

[Chesso]

Gizmo do you mean to say that because of the size of his char array it could cause problems? if more char's then the length of the array was input for example.

To solve that either increase the length of the char array or check the length of the input first if possible.

[skool h8r]

Well, is it possible to put in a very high number, e.g. 999999999 to try and prevent it? Or would that cause errors?

[Chesso]

It's been awhile since i have written any c++ but if their is a function for checking the length of string's/char arrays and hopefully integer values then use it to determine whether it can be stored or not.

Basically: If (Length(SomeText) > 15) Then //allow the user to re-input valid data. Otherwise store it and do w/e.

It's possible, within some limits, and doesn't cause errors, but neither does it fix the problem. There are some geeks around that will spend a long time with their finger on one or two keys to ensure that enough characters are generated to overflow any char array.

You have to develop a routine to throw away invalid inputs before they get to the array, or use a different input method.

[skool h8r]

what about:

if("%s", this_is_a_string > 30)goto "printf", this_is_a_string;

I tried it, and got errors. Anyone care to correct me on it?
